If I've had my way I'd leave here today I'd leave in a hurry

I'd find me a place where I could stay and not have to worry

I'd find me a spot on some mountain top with no one around me

With valleys and streams and birds in the trees and lakes that surround me

A place I could use a place I could lose these Tennessee blues

[ piano-dobro ]

A place to forget all my regrets and keep just a right time

A place I could sleep with nothing but peace and feel free an all time

A place I could use a place I could lose these Tennessee blues

A place I could lose these Tennessee blues
